An Appalachian Summer by Ann Gabbart is the thrilling, fast moving story of an intrepid explorer-like young woman, who has the amazing courage to bravely and boldly step away from the dull, wearisome past into the vast expanse of a beautiful future spread out gorgeously before her. In 1933, when Piper volunteers as a horseback Frontier Nursing courier in the Appalachian Mountains for the summer, it is her last chance to be something more than a boring old drudge. As a whole new and exciting world opens up to her in dazzling array, the longer she stays there, something much more precious, true love, beckons even closer. In this fast-moving and exciting tale, Ann Gabhart skillfully handles the Appalachian landscape and culture with an expert’s eye, making them spring to life, vibrant in every color. The amazing tenacity and sterling bravery instilled in the leading lady character in this rugged, heartwarming tale are truly admirable, and totally worthy of respect and emulation. I highly recommend this awesome book to all who love fast-paced action in every form.
